check out the number of republican governors up for re-election in states that voted for obama. many of them opted out of one of the most successful parts of the law and that gets us to medicaid expansion. in this morning's "washington post" democrats are using medicaid expansion to paint governors as hostage to a national tea party agenda. in your opinion is the health care law going to be the determining issue when it comes to control of congress and those governorships in the coming elections? >> well, it certain low will ly very, very important. if i were a republican governor and i'm in a state where the federal government is paying 100% of the cost for expanding medicaid, i have tens and tens of thousands of people in my state who could get health insurance in many cases for the first time in their lives and i am denying them that opportunity? man, i would be very, very worried. but i think that's one issue. the other issue, obviously, is the economy. high unemployment, growing disparity in wealth and income in this country. >> vermont senator bernie sanders, great to have

and so instead, they're engining up for the midterm elections and presidential elections by talking about this preposterous laundry list, and stumbling over themselves. my favorite line was a daily headline this morning that talked about how republicans held a hearing to see how many times they could say impeachment without sounding crazy. at odds about whether to stay it -- representative stockman of texas has drawn up articles of impeachment which could be seen as an iq test for his colleagues, passing around this list of this things and range all over the map, reasons the president has violated the constitution. but we went to the supreme court on the affordable care act. so that one really is done as a constitutional violation. >> david corn, you have to lay the foundation before you build the house. it seems like the republicans are just covering their bases in case something really comes up, they can go back home and say, well, you know, we've held hearings on possibly impeaching the president. we've got it on record what we think he hasn't done when it comes to upholding the laws.

when they looked at the polling in 2008 about health care when the president was running for election the first time, it was clearly defined for voters or especially swing voters as an economic issue. this is not separate from pocketbook issues, this is right on point. that's why given where we are at with a still struggling economy for many people, health care does fit into these pocketbook issues. when republicans talk about you've got your free choice of doctors, for most people there isn't an actual free choice, because the cost of going to any doctor, any hospital you want is prohibitive. those are those out of network costs that make it very, very difficult for anyone to support this free choice that supposedly is part of this system. so people understand that very well. what they don't understand is what the president is proposing and how these costs will come down if they take part in these exchanges or the coverage they get will be better through their employer. >> has the democratic side been outmaneuvered on this, outmarketed on this so far, rick? >> well, they labor under
